As usually, Melissa does another great job as she describes this month's ATC kit and makes her creation. So proud to have her as our design team member! I love how she made the little ON WITH the SHOW book that opens to reveal the Charlie Chaplin's film strip pieces. Check out her inspiration in this must see video:)

Here is Melissa's ATC that she created from this month's kit. Great job girl!!

Here is the Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month for June 2015. It is a black, white and gold themed kit titled, "Charlie Chaplin". I purchased an original 1950's 8mm Blackhawk Films reissue movie film reel of one of Charlie Chaplin's movies from 1915 titled, "The Tramp". This kit includes 2 strips of film cut from the actual movie film reel. It also includes one of his famous quotes, "A day without laughter is a day wasted". Please note that the quote used in this kit is not taken from the movie. Come by the online store and get this kit placed in your order free throughout the month of June 2015.

1 - of course included is a famous image of Charlie Chaplin that is black and white. This has been professional printed for you.

1 - a quote of Charlie Chaplin that says, "A day without laughter is a day wasted", that has been printed on white glossy paper.

1 - rectangular piece of gold glitter paper to be used to mount the Charlie Chaplin phrase.

1 - miniature button in cream, light brown, brown or black all which coordinate with the kit.

1 - burlap ribbon piece that has mustaches on it, since he is famous for his mustache. Great to use as a corner piece for the ATC.

2 - different strips of 8mm movie film taken from an actual 1950's 8mm Blackhawk Films reissue film reel of Charlie Chaplin's 1915 "The Tramp" movie. I have made sure that the two strips are taken from 2 different parts of the movie. I have also tried to have Charlie Chaplin in at least one of the strips.

About Me

Owner of yourATCstore an online store full of everything you need for making your Artist Trading Cards. Our Motto: Let us be your Artist Trading Card store! A FREE ATC kit is included with every order, and the kit's themes change every month.
I have a great hubby, 3 wonderful children, 3 grand babies, and a house full of pets. I also love the Caribbean and travel there whenever I can. The beautiful turquoise blue Caribbean Ocean, and their laid back attitude is just what you need to truly relax. I have a great love for nature and love birds both inside my home (2 cockatiels and 1 male canary to be exact), and the feather friends in my backyard.
I started making greeting cards in 1992 and have been creating artwork ever since. I make scrapbooks from our family vacations, do altered artwork, needlework, knitting, collage, and of course have a huge addiction to ATCs! You can often find me at the computer, in my office, on the phone with 2 birds; one on each shoulder, cooking, reading an art book or magazine, or in my workshop.
